A woman has been killed and a baby hospitalised after a car meet spiralled out of control in Logan, south of Brisbane.
Police say one vehicle was attempting to overtake three cars on School Road in Logan Reserve when it collided head-on with a family heading home from an Easter dinner about 9pm yesterday.
The mother-of-four travelling in a grey Ford Focus was killed, while the 28-year-old Goodna man and a two-year-old girl in the car weren’t injured.
The 51-year-old was on holiday from Victoria and had been heading home after a party at her daughter’s.
Her 28-year-old niece and the niece’s one-year-old daughter were also in the car. The 28-year-old, who suffered injuries to her legs, hips and back, and the baby were taken to hospital.
The oncoming Ford Falcon ute was allegedly speeding in the wrong lane with no lights on. Authorities condemned the behaviour.
Police said the 17-year-old female driver and some passengers were ejected from that vehicle and suffered non-life-threatening injuries.
Police are now hunting information about the Falcon they say was involved, and investigating links to a car meet that took place nearby.
Videos on social media show hundreds of modified vehicles tearing up streets with almost all in attendance wearing balaclavas and many gesturing rudely at police.
There have been five other deaths on Queensland roads since Thursday.
In Wishart in Brisbane on Thursday a car hit a tree, killing the passenger, and leaving the driver critical in hospital.
Later that day a another vehicle collided with a tree in Beerburrum on the Sunshine Coast, killing the male driver, before a motorbike rider died after he lost control in Burleigh Heads on the Gold Coast that night.
A quad bike rider killed inland of Mackay on Saturday, before two motorbikes collided in Killarney on the Southern Downs around 4pm, killing one rider and leaving the other in a critical condition.
